MyECU installed

[pShenk]

I had the day off, so I finally got to install Cliff's My15M. First I balanced the TB's, as best I could, using the instructions posted here (I used the TwinMax). I'm really glad that this place exists, as a knowledgebase. THere's no way I'd be able to do any of this stuff without it.

 

Anyway, first run with the My15M was awful... it sputtered, and the tach wavered all over the place. I was starting to get worried, but a quick email to Cliff resolved it in a matter of hours. The dip switch inside was set to use closed-loop, which I'm not doing right now. He apologized for the issue, but honestly I should have figured that out myself. The instructions clearly list what the dip switches do, and I just forgot to check them in my anxiousness.

 

So now, it runs very smooth. I was running the race chip before, which is already a huge improvement over stock, but it's even smoother now, especially at low rpms (under 3k). Rolling on after shifts is much smoother, and it's about 75% eliminated what I was previously thinking was "drivetrain lash". Engine braking is also much smoother. I can engine brake, and roll on again with almost no abrupt jerk! I'm pretty excited.

 

Next step is to install the LC-1 O2 sensor that I ordered. I'm going out of town for a few weeks, so I don't know if I'll get to that before I leave. I'll post again when I do though.

 

So far so good though!

Nice one.Are you using the optimate then?Let us know how you get on,I'm making plans to get one in the New Year.

Yes, I'm using the Optimizer... for now. I'd like to not have it on the bike forever. Once I get the O2 sensor installed, I guess I'll ride around for awhile in closed-loop, and let the map, well optimize itself. Then, I'll disconnect it and just ride with that map unless I change something.

 

Hmm... I'm not exactly sure if there is an easy way to apply all the O2 offsets to the map, in one go. I'll have to ask Cliff.

That's good news. There's a switch position for the mode of tach operation also. When I first installed the My15M in my '02 LeMans the tach was jumping all over, but Cliff explained that it was alternating between engine RPM and throttle position and his website clearly states this also. Mybad! I'm still running open loop and making some progress just by fiddling with the Optimiser a bit. I have to send Cliff my current map for a few tweaks, but its showing a lot of potential.
